Sycamore Song follows Chimwala, a young Malawian woman who loses her father at 15 and must take on the responsibility of protecting and providing for her impoverished family. Though in love with her childhood neighbor, Chimwala is forced to marry into a wealthy family to support her mother and younger sister. This duty leads her through a series of dramatic events, including an attempt on her sister’s life, her husband’s death, escape from his abusive family, and a perilous journey across Malawi and into Tanzania. Now a mother of three, Chimwala must figure out how to survive on the few dollars she secretly saved while married.

Desperate for money, Chimwala takes a job in America. What she thought would be a promising opportunity turns into a nightmare of human trafficking. However, Chimwala’s resilience helps her escape, determined to return to her children in Tanzania. Though brave, she finds herself without identification in a foreign world where she knows no one. Her father once compared her strength to that of a sycamore, and now, she will need that same fortitude to make it back home. With luck on her side, Chimwala meets several kind strangers who lead her to a group of women with whom she shares a deep connection. She realizes that fate may have guided her to a bigger purpose than she ever imagined. As she confronts her fears and questions her faith, Chimwala uncovers that her struggles were steps toward a greater legacy. Though her sacrifices were to protect her family, at 25, a wiser Chimwala realizes her journey is just beginning.

Sycamore Song traces Chimwala’s harrowing journey as she learns that true strength comes from following a destiny beyond personal desire. The story takes readers on a deeply emotional pilgrimage, exploring the limits of the human spirit and the sacrifices that come with fulfilling one’s purpose.
